Book Review- This Little Prayer of Mine



This Little Prayer of Mine is my first experience with Anthony DeStefano's writing, it won't be my last. This is a very sweet book, BEAUTIFULLY illustrated by Mark Elliott. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this to my children and have already reread it multiple times. I appreciated the fact that both my two year old and five year old could appreciate this book, both enjoy it. I really felt it spoke to their hearts. The author covers fear, loneliness, selfishness, thankfulness, God caring about the details of our lives, but my favorite part is probably that he ends with the simple truth that ultimately God's love is enough.


The book has a nice rhyming flow about it and is easy to read. Each time we read it, I notice new details in the illustratons that so wonderfully enhance the words. I would definitely recommend this book to others and will certainly be buying other copies for gifts.


*I recieved this book free from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
